• Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
    Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

e6550 Overclock

I would definitely say you've probably pushed the RAM to its limit. I mean it appears to be ddr2-800 though just because that what it is rated at doesnt mean it cannot go higher obviously, but you are basically running it at ddr2-1000 speeds which ain't bad. So at this point, your ram is definitely going to be holding back your OC.
 
3.5 on a E6550 is fairly easy. My old rig ran one there 24/7. Mine topped out at around 545 or so FSB, though I never could figure out if it was the Ram, Mobo or CPU hitting it's limit.
